Here's the story:

3 men in an SUV stole a french bulldog from its West Hollywood, CA front porch 1/9/22 around 5:30pm after the dog managed to slip out its collar while being walked by a guardian. The dog proceeded to desperately run home to safety when 3 men in a black SUV saw the dog running on Sunset & Sweetzer and started chasing it by foot and in a car telling people it was their dog asking if people could help them catch it. Running so fast the dog managed to escape the thieves on Sunset Blvd but the thieves were persistent acting fast to kidnap this beloved family member. 

The french bulldog made it home sitting scared on the front doorstep waiting for the door to open. His owner was running around the neighborhood frantically trying to find him. After escaping the thieves the first time the SUV pulled up again outside the owner's residence, got out, and started asking neighbors where the dog was. Not because they wanted to find its owner. Because they wanted to steal it. It was pointed out that Jag was home on his front porch when the thief began telling people, "That's my dog Chico". The thief then quickly took the dog from his front porch and put it in the SUV. The man wasn't interested in finding the owner and is suspected of ill intent of depriving the owner of permanent loss as he never knocked on the owner's door lying telling people it was his dog. The license plates were taken because of the suspicious nature of the incident. One witness said, "That dog looked scared when that man picked him up and I just knew then it wasn't his dog". 

The license plate was a rental car from Enterprise returned the next day. Several witnesses at the scene of the crime gave detailed descriptions of the thieves. Video footage was found from restaurants on Sunset Blvd with the thieves. "I'm astonished at how many witnesses took the time to care and rally to provide so much evidence.  I can't believe these people committed a crime so blatantly in broad daylight with so many cameras and witnesses". As evidence builds it's only a matter of time that these dognappers may be charged with grand theft and burglary. 

The owner is saying she only wants her dog back saying she's willing to drop all grand theft investigations if she simply has her dog back safe and healthy. Jag has special medical needs and was on medication and a special diet. Without it, the owner doesn't know how long he will live. 

**** Jag has a special medical condition and is on medication and special food.  I don't know how long he can live without it ********


"It just kills me that cruel people took advantage of an already horrible situation. I was terrified that Jag was going to get run over by a car but I never would have imagined he would be taken within a matter of minutes. I haven't slept or eaten since he's been gone. I cannot imagine my life without my baby boy. He is my pride and joy. I don't have biological children so he is nothing less than my child, snatched away from me. I will never give up looking for him. Never."

 
 
 
 
Jag is the sweetest Frenchie with a funny personality.  Our routine every morning when waking up is "snuggle time" where he nestles up against me and turns on his back so I can rub his belly. He stretches out his back legs laid out flat and does a yoga pose stretch. Its so cute! He follows me around like a shadow and is the joy of my life. 
 
 
Sure he snores like a trucker but this guy is one of a kind and there's no way I can be without him. I have so much evidence, witnesses, and video I am sure to catch these people and have Jag back in bed with me snuggling in no time!
 
 
Thank you for your help! Love and magic is more powerful than any crime.
